Hi and welcome everyone. I wish I had the answers to some of these questions! I don't know that there is an easy way to get photos - trial and error and constantly learning. I say go with a neutral, solid background and be sure to find some good natural light.

Getting more traffic to your site? I'd say keep listing, use your tags wisely, and work on your SEO.
